I feel like the older dungeons and raids hate casting gear sets, because I try to get a few sets in the past and it hardly ever drops....and now I want the Ivalician Oracle set and reading the comments on the lodestone for the top it seems like it rarely drops.
I unlocked Eureka after patch 5.1. Leveled up just to get the elemental +1 fending set. Matches very nicely with the TEA weapons, the pld zeta weapon, and the novus/nexus weapons (I forget which has the white/yellow glow effect).
I got the full Defending Set and Full Striking sets when they came out. Kind of regret not getting the Maiming set, but given that I finished all of Eureka, I might be able to get it a bit easier.
I am 3 minutes in but I just wanted to say this is already one of my favourite ff vids I've seen so far. Keep up the good work man, this is insanely good.
I unironically love Eureka. Its the most "MMO" the game has ever been when it was active, players coming together and helping each other towards the same goal. Still some of my most cherished memories from the game. Bozja never quite lived up to it IMO
That is true, it felt incredibly cool and more of a social circle trying to achieve the same goal as you said, so I agree completely, but the content is.. hella rough
I did Eureka + BA in like 2-3 weeks half a year ago. Can confirm -working- suffering together with other players in each of the four instances was an extremely cool experience. There's always at least one instance permanently active and tracking Fates.
With a levelling dungeon like Qitana Ravel, the guaranteed loot drop upon killing the boss is job specific unlike the chests in the dungeon. If you get the full set from the dungeon due to bad rng you are guaranteed the weapon because that job specific boss drop cannot be a duplicate of gear you already have in your armory chest. Just if people plan to farm any levelling dungeons for glam.
Absolute mood. Wanted the triple triad mount and already filled out everything from ARR-SB until i realised I had to do eureka for some of the cards. Total agony.
One of the most cheek-clenching things I’ve done in Eureka is reflect farming alone in an instance. Fortunately I didn’t die, but I did die once in an instance of two people and they were kind enough to traverse the map to rez me. Eureka folks take care of each other.
Bro wtf, that was such a good video. I'm glad people are putting more light on the pain that is farming for glam , rn I'm farming for 3 of the arr relic weapon babyyy
I understand this pain completely, it took me 3 weeks of constantly trick- I mean asking my friends to help me run through swallows compass for the bonewicca maiming chest for my drg. The universe was out for blood with how bad my luck was...and don't even get me started on getting the Excalibur zeta for pld.
This entire vid is a vibe and I am here for it! I also feel your pain, if I'm about to go into a msq cutscene and the class I have equipped doesn't look glamoured up and ready, I'll change class to one that is because the wol needs to be a fashion icon!
I completely feel you. I got a baller DRK glam but that's it and I'm on a constant hunt for other cool pieces and the Eureka gear is up there on the list but the entire grind required makes me shudder and prioritize other stuff constantly. Really hope the devs would, at the very least, make Eureka faster. It needs an overhaul all around but even just doubling exp and halving the needed materials for stuff would be so good for people on the grind.
I felt your pain in this video. Back when I was still in ARR I saw this awesome looking Roe Paladin afk in Mor Dhona on a giant white griffin wearing the glowy elemental set. As a Paladin main myself, this glam blew my mind and I just had to have it. So I looked up the set and the steps involved to get it.... needless to say the process seemed very convoluted and I couldnt quite understand what it was even talking about. Nearly gave up on the idea then and there. But I figured I still had all of heavensward and needed to get into stormblood to even start worrying about it. But when all of that content came and went, that chad Roe chilling in Mor Dhona started to haunt my thoughts. So I took the plunge and entered eureka. I told myself to just focus on one step at a time. Dont think about all of the step after or i'd likely quit before I began. The place is a hellscape for grinds. A true grindscape. The process was made less terrible by the fact that I wasnt there suffering alone in this strange, unforgiving land. Any help I recieved was truly a blessing as we all worked together to take on NM's for days on end. Before long I started to find I was enjoying myself. I think I had started to develop an actual stockholm syndrome with the place. An eternity later, I finally had my Glowing Elemental set (and even continued on to Baldesion Arsenol) and it was GLORIOUS! But my perfect Paladin glam was not complete without the perfect weapon to accompany it. A little youtube shopping brought me to the Excalibur Zeta. It just had to be the grindiest of all relic weapons, I mean of course 😑😫. Another giant slog later, I had my perfect weapon. But there were still things I could do to improve the look: Angel wings for 700k mgp from the golden saucer, a certain pair of gold wing earings from the (spoiler) boss fight in shadowbringers, and the halo from the mogshop. I had transcended Paladin and arose to full on Angel. But even now, there is still one thing left incomplete. What is a true Warrior of Light without a true and trusty steed to bear them that is equally as magnificent? The White Griffin mount had sprung to mind, but after some more online browsing, I knew nothing else would cut it like The Astralope. So now, currently having become a Mentor, unlocking the Mentor Roullette, and now about 1500/2000 roullettes in, im on my way to complete the Perfect Paladin Glam. Perhaps I'll retire after this. I know of a place in Mor Dhona, a spot where a certain Roe chad used to hang out. Seems like a good place to afk for a bit.
That's funny. I remember getting that scythe on my Reaper while leveling it up, so it being somewhat special should be a nice glamour potential idea, and already had Eureka fully unlocked, so getting elemental Maiming set was like a picnic tour for me, since I'm one of those weirdos who love Eureka. Then again I love Dark Souls and their likes too... 👀 Just wish they would retroactively put Reaper relic gear into Eureka too, because why not, I want it all! Glamour truly is the Real Endgame.
I actually really enjoyed my time in Eureka after I learned how they did things there. A couple times I even took over the tracker and lead people around.
Great video! As someone on the glam grind myself, I sympathize. To complete my PLD glam, I'm stuck deciding between the HW relics or Eureka ones, and I'm not sure how much pain I'm willing to put myself through.
Thank you so much! I will definitely say HW Relics look a lot better than Eureka, but that's my personal preference, and the grind in painful, yes, but take time off to avoid burn out :D
The worst part about the grinds is the end because although you are finally done and feel a sense of accomplishment it’s the emptiness of “What now?” Like you dedicated so much time into something and it just ends and you’re struggling to figure out what to do just to keep playing because you have all this time but nothing to do with it So you end up just “afk” in Limsa and watch your screen just to catch that one person looking your way because “I worked hard for this fucking glamour set and I need SOME FORM OF VALIDATION FROM SOMEONE”
It's really really not bad.. you spend most of your time afk waiting for stuff to spawn. This is literally rhw only actual mmo like grind in the game. You can't complain.
@@Sammysapphirajust having the amount of time to dedicate to something like this is a massive challenge in and of itself. For some people more than others.
I scrolled down, expecting to see 2 million subscriber's, and was shocked. The vid was so high quality and funny throughout great job, had me laughing the whole time XD
I feel this video, but in another way. I am extremely obsessive about color schemes, and texture, and thematic relevancy, so I spent several years dissatisfied with my glam until I finally struck gold and I haven't changed it since.
I love the glamour system in FFXIV, but at the same time I hate it it has good functions, that other MMO's are missing, but it's missing some that others have and the dyeing part is actually just sad could have been so much better but overall still one of the better glam systems out there
Eureka was my jam back in the day. They made it so much easier but I'm glad the same energy is received today. Maybe I should come back to FFXIV. Thanks for reigniting the spark I once had in the past.
Fashion Fantasy XIV. You can definitely make some astounding outfits. I absolutely love that literally every armor piece and clothing you can get can b a glamour. It doesnt have any preset skins to buy, and even if you do buy an outfit off the storepage, you can mix and match it into your own unique glam. I love making outfits, only making Edgy glams for classes I get maxed out. Speaking of, I should try to get edgy crafter/gatherer glams, seeing I maxed all of them out. Thankfully I only need one for each category. For now anyway.
2:16 i dont no why he popped into my head but all i see is Willem Dafoe tuggin his sleeves and collars while sharing the brand and material of his drip 💀
THERE WILL BE BLOOOD SHIIIT the things we do for glam huh also your video popped out of nowhere in my yt feed and I'm surprised you don't have more views!! this was great!
Im glad that you too appreciate the Ravel Keepers scythe. I actually farmed it too when Reaper first came out because I was already a huge fan of Ravel Keeper weapon glams. I used it with a samurai look tho
this video is probably older than when i actually started Eureka in EW and it really wasn't bad for me... Could be that Crystal, having most of the CAFE people in there that organize BA runs, will inevitably help the process if you join at the right times; but it took me less than 2 weeks to complete one weapon, and then it was a few more sessions for the armor i wanted... I did end up grinding it a lot more since it was a super fun experience for me, ending with a few +2 full sets or armor and weapon, but still... 😅
I need you to know I nearly gasped aloud when you said the chest piece was the elemental gear because, as much as I unironically love grinding for gear, I refuse to touch Eureka with a 7 ft pole
I understand your pain, took me a month+ of suffering in eureka to finally got the elemental armor of fending. Also, last year I literally grinded in final coil of bahamut 4 just to get the dreadwyrm staff, it dropped after 20th run, and I also became a BLM and doing speed grinding for weeks until 80 so i could cosplay as my favorite character from an old anime for halloween. it was completed 4 days before halloween
My brother literally has had farmer outfits for reaper since it released. He's never done anything other than that. No edginess. No black. No coats. He's a farmer. He's even using the basic scythe. Also, before they added the "getting one piece of gear for your role upon completion" thing, I spent almost a year and a half farming for the Skallic Coat of Fending...only for them to add a craftable version that dyes way better a month later when Endwalker dropped.
Before the video even started I knew this was gonna be about Eureka, had war flash backs the minute my fears were confirmed. The community in those instances was so fun though, especially in Pagos/Pyros. Anemos is lonely Hellscape and Hydatos is spaced out to hell
1:26 you don't need third party software to try something on you see in world: click on player>examine>go to the piece>try on. you could even "save outfit" and then try on other stuff with it to see how different pieces will look with it
to be fair, i’ve been spending about a month now just leveling summoner so i can use the ktisis hyperboreia summoner book and i only just got the book last night after 4 months of trying to get it :’o) the things we do for ✨glamour✨
I want to start by saying that this was a fun watch, got some lols out of me. I Did want to point out that all leveling dungeons will give you a piece of job appropriate gear, and IIRC it doesn't drop duplicates, and depending on your rng doing trusts and clearing it might be faster for such things. Also, if you ever get content lull blues I'd recommend finishing Hydatos, as it feels like the chillest zone, and the shortest lvl range and no sleeping dragons. The bunny chest drops call sell really well and don't forget nude reflect farming on sprite island, you can also see BA and true horror
I'm glad you found it a fun watch, I did hear about the whole dungeon weapon part, and it killed me a little but we good, I'll keep that in mind too, thank you!
Watching this again, and turns out between my first viewing and today, i ended up getting all the way to pyros for the monk feathered hat for an Alucard cosplay.
ohh eureka. I am currently at the end stages of Pyros because ever since I saw the pyros sam blade I knew I needed it. Luckily it is something my gf and I do casually together so it has actually been a very fun experience so far. Also helps that she is a healer ! Your video was great haha, found a new ff content creator today.
Remember running Orbonne Monastery... an UNGODLY amount of times... just to get the Ivalician Sky Pirate's Hat... just one goddamn hat... and I eventually got it... and you know what? It was worth it. That hat is the most recognizable part of my character and I adore it. Glamour Gang™ rise up.
I went through Antique Caladbolg to Xiphitos Eureka (Base one looks so much cooler then the glowing step, Pagos and Hydatos were the worst steps) and Pyros Guillotine and it was just outright misery ;w; (I did also Fending and Maiming Elemental body armors and helmets when I worked for SMN and WHM Eureka relics and BA clear for Ozma).
Sir. Your pain. I feel your pain, but in a different way. While I am a Glamor ho myself, the problem was that I was hunting Triple Triad cards for the mount and about a half dozen of them are Eureka related and did require me to get to Hydatos. To that end, I wound up incidentally leveling up two sets of Artifact armor (I have the shiny Fending chest) and the majority of my Bard Relic weapon. I still have yet to finish Euereka, but there is.. there is a mount. As for glamour pain, when Orbonne Monastary was new, I ran it 7 times in a row in one day for a hat I wound up never using (And did not drop) over the course of the next few weeks (I'm not entirely clear on the timeframe but I know I got the Aiming chest, hands, feet, legs before ever seeing the hat when I COULD get it, so at least a month). By the time the hat finally dropped, I had better things to glam with, and as a typical Miqo female, I am skeptical of any hat that hides my ears.
6 months? That’s nice. I once really wanted to get the full Field Commander’s Set. And after 3 years of constant burn out, I finally got it. And am not using it for any of my glamors. Now that’s the true endgame. Getting shit you’re never going to use.
Eureka is one of the contents I wish to do, but doing it solo is so painful, I know that there is discords but even so there is not that much people doing the content anymore. But anyway, glad I got recommended your video, great content and quality.
This reminds me of that time when I decided it would be perfectly fine to do the entire Anima relic questline for Terpander Lux... a solid 2 months of hell that I will never get back but hey, I got that cute Anima minion + imo the best bard weapon glam in the entire game. Also! Thank god I did it before they took off the aether oil quest in one of the patches so lol
I KNEW THE SECOND I saw the video title it was like oh yeP Eureika I'm sorry my brotha. I must go down this path myself for the relic weapon for AST pray for my own journey back to that hellscape. (I did it originally just to get the artifact armor for NIN ;-;)
Eureka, a place of challenge and cooperation, of working towards a goal with friends and strangers, what a wonderful place. All I got was people deliberately pulling bosses to deny other people a chance at the low drop chance loot while spewing non-stop toxic bile into the general chat to make everyone else feel as terrible as possible no matter whether they kept trying or gave up. What a horrible, terrible, awful place.
Tried to get to the point I could obtain the glowy elemental armor, but lost it at Pyros. Eureka is just...so mind numbing. I do have that Ravel Keeper's Scythe though and I agree it's a beauty.
I feel this. I did the elemental fending grind right before endwalker came out. And before THAT I did the zodiac weapon for PLD. Over a month of grinding
Like the video format very funny, editing was on point felt Internet Historian inspired but not a direct copy more high energy, hoping to see more from you in the future m8!
Yeah, playing Eureka as a DPS without prior experience must be rough. When I did Eureka I went as PLD and I'm glad I did. It was so much fun, probably one of my favourite aspects of FFXIV. If only Bozja was as enjoyable as Eureka...
Yep I feel this. As a glamour and mount enthusiast I spent around a month grinding nothing but Eureka for the glowy armor and Ozma mount. If I had a soul left I would say it was whole
Haven't gone deep into eureka or bozja yet. Just finished msq. Going to do newfound adventures then hit those areas up as well as the gathering areas like the diadem
34 runs of Copied Factory to get the Casting Robe. Took like two months. I feel this.
God damn, but it was definitely worth it
I feel like the older dungeons and raids hate casting gear sets, because I try to get a few sets in the past and it hardly ever drops....and now I want the Ivalician Oracle set and reading the comments on the lodestone for the top it seems like it rarely drops.
Starting to farm Copied Factory for Ninja chestpiece - haven't seen it drop in 3 days....
@@melvin3681 good luck, boss. it's a marathon
1 run.
Eureka glam was literally the reason why I started playing this game.
Seriously, one of their best armor sets out there.
I agree it was worth it and the weapon 🔪
I unlocked Eureka after patch 5.1. Leveled up just to get the elemental +1 fending set. Matches very nicely with the TEA weapons, the pld zeta weapon, and the novus/nexus weapons (I forget which has the white/yellow glow effect).
I got the full Defending Set and Full Striking sets when they came out. Kind of regret not getting the Maiming set, but given that I finished all of Eureka, I might be able to get it a bit easier.
Same but only tanks armor
I am 3 minutes in but I just wanted to say this is already one of my favourite ff vids I've seen so far. Keep up the good work man, this is insanely good.
Thank you so much :D It means a lot!
I unironically love Eureka. Its the most "MMO" the game has ever been when it was active, players coming together and helping each other towards the same goal. Still some of my most cherished memories from the game. Bozja never quite lived up to it IMO
That is true, it felt incredibly cool and more of a social circle trying to achieve the same goal as you said, so I agree completely, but the content is.. hella rough
in EU Eureka is kinda still active (more active than Bozja is)
I did Eureka + BA in like 2-3 weeks half a year ago. Can confirm -working- suffering together with other players in each of the four instances was an extremely cool experience. There's always at least one instance permanently active and tracking Fates.

actually one of the best experiences I've had was just running around Eureka as a Sage and rezing people that I could get to first, it was fun.
Bro wtf, that was such a good video. I'm glad people are putting more light on the pain that is farming for glam , rn I'm farming for 3 of the arr relic weapon babyyy
We can only laugh at the pain of farming glams, best of luck on your Relic Weapon grind, I could never :')

gods, I love this book! who needs a shiny weapon when you can have a book you can see through? \o/
Funny vid. XD Amazing editing. I prefer your bunny, because reasons.
ps. I got that sickle randomly, when I levelled reaper.
Discarded it after.
I liked my bunny too, but Hyur is where I began, also you discarding it is pain, agony even.
You are so underrated dude, great job on the vid
Just found this on my reccomend. Definitely a great watch. 👍
Thanks! More to come in the future, I think...
@@SamTheLemonBoy looking forward to it. 😁
This is awesome, man. It reminds me of a Pint video (probably my favorite current content creator).😂👍
I want to start by saying that this was a fun watch, got some lols out of me. I Did want to point out that all leveling dungeons will give you a piece of job appropriate gear, and IIRC it doesn't drop duplicates, and depending on your rng doing trusts and clearing it might be faster for such things.
Also, if you ever get content lull blues I'd recommend finishing Hydatos, as it feels like the chillest zone, and the shortest lvl range and no sleeping dragons. The bunny chest drops call sell really well and don't forget nude reflect farming on sprite island, you can also see BA and true horror
I'm glad you found it a fun watch, I did hear about the whole dungeon weapon part, and it killed me a little but we good, I'll keep that in mind too, thank you!
Loved the editing and humor, keep it up! :D
The second I heard it was a glam for Reaper, I knew it was the elemental chestpiece
Glamour is the true endgame and this video proves it.
Watching this again, and turns out between my first viewing and today, i ended up getting all the way to pyros for the monk feathered hat for an Alucard cosplay.
All my glams start with a weapon and I build of that
ohh eureka. I am currently at the end stages of Pyros because ever since I saw the pyros sam blade I knew I needed it. Luckily it is something my gf and I do casually together so it has actually been a very fun experience so far. Also helps that she is a healer ! Your video was great haha, found a new ff content creator today.
Company makes the journey go faster and farther, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
the gloves.. THE GLOVES.. THE YORHA-53 GLOVES OF FENDING!!!
THEY NEVER DROP! NEVER!! ;_; "goes into fetal position in a corner and cries"
there's 2 weapon in qitana, every shb lvling dungeon has a chest right before the last boss with an additional weapon
Remember running Orbonne Monastery... an UNGODLY amount of times... just to get the Ivalician Sky Pirate's Hat... just one goddamn hat... and I eventually got it... and you know what? It was worth it. That hat is the most recognizable part of my character and I adore it.
Glamour Gang™ rise up.
As soon as he said "Elemental" the pain became real
I went through Antique Caladbolg to Xiphitos Eureka (Base one looks so much cooler then the glowing step, Pagos and Hydatos were the worst steps) and Pyros Guillotine and it was just outright misery ;w; (I did also Fending and Maiming Elemental body armors and helmets when I worked for SMN and WHM Eureka relics and BA clear for Ozma).
"Is it worth it giving up?" THAT SHIT HIT ME RIGHT HERE
Sir. Your pain. I feel your pain, but in a different way. While I am a Glamor ho myself, the problem was that I was hunting Triple Triad cards for the mount and about a half dozen of them are Eureka related and did require me to get to Hydatos.
To that end, I wound up incidentally leveling up two sets of Artifact armor (I have the shiny Fending chest) and the majority of my Bard Relic weapon. I still have yet to finish Euereka, but there is.. there is a mount.
As for glamour pain, when Orbonne Monastary was new, I ran it 7 times in a row in one day for a hat I wound up never using (And did not drop) over the course of the next few weeks (I'm not entirely clear on the timeframe but I know I got the Aiming chest, hands, feet, legs before ever seeing the hat when I COULD get it, so at least a month). By the time the hat finally dropped, I had better things to glam with, and as a typical Miqo female, I am skeptical of any hat that hides my ears.
"Can't solo."
*Laughs in Shade Shift*
This video is amazing you earned a sub sir
i feel this, but with minions. 192 runs of dead ends.... for a fucking bird.
6 months? That’s nice. I once really wanted to get the full Field Commander’s Set. And after 3 years of constant burn out, I finally got it. And am not using it for any of my glamors. Now that’s the true endgame. Getting shit you’re never going to use.
I get you. I have been playing this since ARR and the things I have done for glamour purposes....make me question my own sanity.
very nice video funny lemon with sunglasses! :)
you deserve more subs for great video editing. :)
I try with the editing, thanks for thinking so!
you did great, my friend
Eureka is one of the contents I wish to do, but doing it solo is so painful, I know that there is discords but even so there is not that much people doing the content anymore.
But anyway, glad I got recommended your video, great content and quality.
I did it solo too, but it's bareable with something in the background, and thank you so much :D
I recently started Eureka. I only did Anemos for the scholar book with the wings. Probably never doing it again.
I lived in Qitana Ravel for who knows how long until I finally got the aiming shoes
I did DRS just to get the dyable version of the armor set. The Augmented Law's Order Chestpiece of Fending is now one of my most prized possessions.
This reminds me of that time when I decided it would be perfectly fine to do the entire Anima relic questline for Terpander Lux... a solid 2 months of hell that I will never get back but hey, I got that cute Anima minion + imo the best bard weapon glam in the entire game. Also! Thank god I did it before they took off the aether oil quest in one of the patches so lol
I KNEW THE SECOND I saw the video title it was like oh yeP Eureika I'm sorry my brotha.
I must go down this path myself for the relic weapon for AST pray for my own journey back to that hellscape.
(I did it originally just to get the artifact armor for NIN ;-;)
Eureka, a place of challenge and cooperation, of working towards a goal with friends and strangers, what a wonderful place.
All I got was people deliberately pulling bosses to deny other people a chance at the low drop chance loot while spewing non-stop toxic bile into the general chat to make everyone else feel as terrible as possible no matter whether they kept trying or gave up. What a horrible, terrible, awful place.
Tried to get to the point I could obtain the glowy elemental armor, but lost it at Pyros. Eureka is just...so mind numbing. I do have that Ravel Keeper's Scythe though and I agree it's a beauty.
Eureka hath claimed another soul
"elemental armour"
says it all right there. oh boy.
PTSD
Currently doing Eureka for the BA mount, it's painful lol. Have stretched this task out over several months now.
Its so worth it. Keep it up! I believe in you comrade!
Bonewicca Soother's Helm. Two months. Still don't have it.
:')
oh, I know that pain. why did they have to hide the chocobo mask behind all that racing...
I feel this. I did the elemental fending grind right before endwalker came out. And before THAT I did the zodiac weapon for PLD. Over a month of grinding
HELLO ? YOUR VIDEO IS SO COOL ? Welp. Can't wait to see more hehe
Thank you so much! :D
On my pld I went for the hydatos chest and the TEA weapon. Took only 4 months...
Loved this video 🥹
I wish the open world zones functioned more like Eureka
Playing through it was such a unique and fun experience
Eureka is great, its just you were beelined on one goal. Eureka unlocks so many neat trinkets you probably got along the way ;D
Like the video format very funny, editing was on point felt Internet Historian inspired but not a direct copy more high energy, hoping to see more from you in the future m8!
Most inspiration is from Internet Historian and Max0r, but with more of my kind of humor, I'm glad you think so! :D
@@SamTheLemonBoy Reminded me a lot of Pints videos
literally on my 28th run of ravel to try and get the aiming robes.
The moment you said elemental I started weeping for you.
A smile better suits a hero
Yeah, playing Eureka as a DPS without prior experience must be rough. When I did Eureka I went as PLD and I'm glad I did. It was so much fun, probably one of my favourite aspects of FFXIV. If only Bozja was as enjoyable as Eureka...
Yep I feel this. As a glamour and mount enthusiast I spent around a month grinding nothing but Eureka for the glowy armor and Ozma mount. If I had a soul left I would say it was whole
Haven't gone deep into eureka or bozja yet. Just finished msq. Going to do newfound adventures then hit those areas up as well as the gathering areas like the diadem
You're in for a ride, friend.
